Misc. Friday Ramblings...



Friday FIREPOWER!
  • JIC = Just In Case

    Shotgun in a tube, what's not to like?

  • Don't drive and unload.
    Investigators said Robert Drown, 22, was driving on Loudon Road and emptying his loaded weapon at about noon. Police said Drown accidentally shot himself in the thigh.

    "It's like he rear-ended a car, went up over the curb, didn't hit the brakes or anything, took out the sign and jumped out of the car covered in blood," witness Jeff Raymond said.

    The collision happened about 50 yards from a fire station, and police said Drown tried to run to the station before collapsing 20 feet from the door.

    Investigators said the incident was a case of poor judgment.

    "When you handle a firearm, it should have 100 percent of your attention," Barry said.
